President Nicolas Maduro urged his armed forces Wednesday to be on guard following news reports in the United States that a year ago President Donald Trump raised the possibility of invading Venezuela.

He alluded to reports in the US press which said that last August Trump asked foreign policy advisers about the possibility of invading Venezuela, which the Trump administration has derided as a corrupt, leftwing dictatorship. Trump raised the idea in August 2017 during a meeting about sanctions the United States has imposed on oil rich Venezuela, CNN said, quoting a senior administration official. Trump's advisers said no, as did Latin American leaders with whom Trump also raised the idea, CNN said.

Maduro said Trump's question to his advisers came after Venezuelan opposition figures visited the White House. "Is this a coincidence? No, it is not a coincidence," Maduro said.
